Fun Easter in the ER(note the sarcasm)
Just getting home from the ER with my 4 year old. She scared us as she has been fine all weekend then all of a sudden she had a fever of 102.8, heart rate of 160, complaining of her back and stomach hurting, with the little grimace face and moaning. So I took her to the ER and they first thought it was a kidney infection, did a urine specimen and it came back fine. So they ordered a ct scan because they were afraid it was her appendix. Turns out her white blood count was 1600 and she has pneumonia in her lower left lung. I had went to the doctor with her a week ago over the cough that wouldn't go away. I was afraid she had mono like me, but they say at 4 she couldn't so they won't test her. It's sad that anymore you have to go to the ER to get treated, but while I was there they seemed to be ct scan happy as there was at least 4 ct scans. They must have just gotten a new machine so they can overcharge all the insurance companys. Ok rant over. I hope you all had a great Easter!

hope she gets better soon... my friend's mother was admitted into the hospital over the Easter with internal bleeding and they have yet to find out where it is coming from.
